It wasn't done before because we were hoping to have a plan to update etch-m68k. So far, we haven't done much updating or much planning. :) Frankly, I haven't seen a large demand for install cds.

Hopefully that will be fixed before we build 2.6.25 for m68k. I won't move d-i to using 2.6.25 in sid until it is. Peace, Stephen -- Stephen R.
